Perhaps, in the vein of the Jungle Book, his parents were killed in some sort of accident and N (around 4 by my guess) was left in the forest. His ability to communicate with Pokemon helped him get around as a Darmanitan and a Zorua took him in as one of their own. How his parents died and the details are unknown because as N grew up he forgot about his parents and nobody else was there as a witness.

Ghetsis may've heard rumors of a supposed feral child who could speak to Pokemon but mostly kept away from humans. Though much like the Kangaskhan Kid, he'd confront humans who'd hurt his friends like poachers, hence the rumors. The man had a hunch that the boy (now 8 years old) was the one he was looking and went to the forest and found him, pretended to be his father. Even going so far as to dye his hair green to make the connection more convincing to the naive lad (other resembling features were pretty coincidental). It didn't take long for the boy, N, to be persuaded into coming with Ghetsis and the rest is history.

Well I think the same could be said for a lot of the characters in Gen 5. Minus the scientist thing of course. They all were so versatile. Although, Bianca and Cheren found their niches. But overall, this was one thing I enjoyed about the Gen 5 characters.

That's true, but Bianca and Cheren didn't quite give off the same vibe as Colress in that respect.

One of the great things about Colress' character specifically is that not much is really known about him other than his scientist role and his experiences with Team Plasma. It leaves a lot of room for players to come up with their own stories about him.

Does it really need to be expanded on, though?
Not everything needs to be explained.

Thing is we know next to nothing about the OD itself. We know it existed(probably), we know it split apart to form Ram, Rom n' Rem and it may or may not be able to re-fuse. We know nothing at all regarding its abilities, any notable actions, moral alignment. I just expect...more.

Even if any of the ambiguities that you mention aren't explicitly said, I would personally like it a lot if they at least implied some of them. That way, there would be at least some foundation to base guesses on, and baseless speculation, such as "the OD is black, green, pink, and purple because I said so" would be avoided. (:

I think Colress is probably the best villain so far in Pokemon game. He is a scientist so devoted to work that will do anything ANYTHING, to achieve his work, yes he might even kill you. That is probably the most sinister and developed villain yet, though i think we should see more of him.

Does Anyone, besides me, think that Colress should return for another game?

Colress, was, IMO, never YOUR enemy. Nor was he Team Plasma's enemy... He was sorta neutral.

Because Ghetsis had money for a genius scientist to experiment with, while Colress didn't.

And can you imagine Colress at Plasma Grunt status? Even if he was, he would advance really quickly because he's brilliant.

And Colress was obviously smarter than Ghetsis, right? So whether Ghetsis ALLOWED Colress to toy with theories and what not at the expense of Colress will build utilities/ be a Plasma Boss or Colress manipulating Ghetsis to think that anything Colress does BENEFITS Team Plasma... Colress was excepting Boss Status out of personal gain, not out of belief in Ghetsis, who Colress pretty much had wrapped around his finger....

Because after Colress lost, he excepted defeat, and KEPT the Frigate, while Ghetsis vanished...

I wish there was Hilbert/Hilda as a support character/rival in Black 2/White 2.

Nah, silent protagonists don't really fit other roles very well. What they should've done was let you battle them like you could Red, with their team being generated from Memory Link based on your name, gender, starter, and version (I'm guessing their team would be the starter you chose in BW1, the monkey that goes along with it, the Dragon you caught at the end of the game, and a couple of other random ones).

^ So true! They got your trophies & contest items through memory link. There really wasn't any harm if they could allow you to create the team of just one simple in-game character. They could've taken the team recorded in the Hall of Fame.
